• Homestead was the crowd favorite and record selling bull at Ellingson’s 2017 sale, representing a much needed opportunity to outcross to most pedigrees while improving function and longevity traits.

• His dam is a Territory daughter with 3 natural calves @94 BW, 110 WW and 105 YW. This prominent line of cattle represent the finest females of the Ellingson program.

Chad Ellingson

“Homestead has been the heaviest used young sire in the history of our program. We feel that his combination of phenotype and genetics make him one of the most unique young bulls in the industry.

He is an individual that excels in the attributes that we demand in sires.”

“Raindance represents everything we look for in an ideal breeding bull- unmistakable herd bull presence and a massive performance design with impeccable structure and soundness. He is dominating in thickness, muscle shape and stoutness of rump, with the capacity and softness of a real cowmaker.

• Only once in several years does an individual come along with Treasure’s blend of genetic profiles in tandem with near flawless phenotype and foot structure.

• Treasure has proven himself a sure bet calving ease sire that will take your breeding program to the next level with many traits in the top 1% of the breed.

Kevin Gallagher

“Treasure glided over every hurtle from birth, weaning and yearling to his impeccable genomic scores. The first calves came easy and exploded with performance. They have a soft look with muscle expression and they exhibit tremendous eye appeal and style.

Treasure will be the largest sire group we wean next fall.”

“Response inherited his sire’s ability to transmit masculine breed character, muscle, base width, and really sound foot structure. However what sets Response apart from the other Resource derivatives is his tremendous calving ease. When using Response you get the good of Resource in a calving ease package.”

GENOMIC SUPERSTAR • Black Onyx was a big winner in the transition to single step genomics. No other young sire at his level of calving ease can match his performance and carcass combination.

• He is the highest growth Black Granite son under +1.0 for BW and he’s out of a full sister to Rampage.

• Weigh Up 294 is a bigger statured, stockman’s kind of bull with a breed changer look.

• He is the most impressive Weigh Up son we have encountered with outstanding foot shape and circumference, a sweet front end and a hip and hind leg that’s hard-to-find in an Angus bull.

Clint Woodrow

“294 checks all the boxes for us: he brings power, foot shape and size, attractive EPD profile, amazing phenotype and look, in a sensible frame score.

Couldn’t be more excited!!!”

• Summitt is a unique sire that combines two of the most prolific and well-known cows in the Angus breed, SAV Blackcap May 4136 and Coleman Donna 714...a perfect choice for SexedULTRA 4M heifer semen!

• He was the high selling bull in the ZWT Ranch sale and the selection of Coleman Angus to incorporate SAV Renown with the great Donna lineage.

Larry Coleman

“Summitt is the best Renown son we have found, and he fits our program. He is good footed with real world performance, muscle and tremendous phenotype. His dam has become known as the ‘Mother of herd bulls’ and transmits maternal strength, fleshing ability and udder quality. Summitt has as much Angus breed character as you will find and will see heavy use here.”

“Our Surveillance calves are some of the most eye appealing best structured cattle we have ever produced. He is working extremely well on our Insight and First Class daughters and contributes modest birth weights. As the first daughters near calving, they appear they will have outstanding udder quality. He will continue to see heavy use in our operation.”

• The first calf crops at Ellingsons and Spicklers ratioed 97@BW and 102@WW with several standouts that will serve as highvalued replacements and sale features.

• Powerpoint provides a rare calving ease and growth combination and is a marbling specialist, ratioing 221 for IMF in a contemporary group of 76.

Chad Ellingson

“The first progeny of Powerpoint are passing all tests to putting him on track to be one of the heavy use sires in the breed. We used him with great success on heifers and were beyond impressed with the muscle and shape these cattle displayed at weaning. I believe he stands in a league of his own for combining calving ease, growth and marbling in tandem with individual quality!”

• Enterprise is being used heavily in the LT program because Brent Thiel knows the value of his maternal line... Capitalist, Alliance I87, Bando 9074 and Sitz Value.

• Enterprise is a perfect choice for commercial heifer projects where unassisted births, calf vigor and outstanding replacement heifers are a requirement.

Brent Thiel

“LT Enterprise calves are easy to pick out with excellent fleshing ability, thickness and a market topping look. Our ranch will breed over 2,000 heifers to Enterprise this spring.

His calving-ease and vigor at birth are rocksolid. Use Enterprise to build a maternal cow herd.”

Handling Timing • Thinner straws = higher • AI timing is surface area to volume ratio. different than Straws can be more sensitive conventional to temperature change than semen!!!! .5 cc straws, making proper • Optimal tank inventory, handling, and conception rates transferring very important to are achieved the viability of the semen. at 18-22 hours • Limit exposure to outside after standing temps to 5-6 seconds, and heat. keep semen below frost line in neck of semen tank.

“I A.I.’d my heifers with Female SexedULTRA Flintllock semen using a 14-day CIDR protocol, and all heifers were bred on a fixed time. I was very pleased with my results: 21 of 37 heifers were confirmed pregnant. I consigned the A.I. bred heifers to a commercial Red Angus sale and topped the sale out of 300+ head. I will be using SexedULTRA semen again in the future.”

Use SexedULTRA semen for selective mating strategies, using maternal sires to produce superior replacement females or terminal sires for the next crop of bulls or steers.

with Estrous Synchronization and Sexed Semen Dr. Les Anderson

University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY The easiest road to maximum breeding efficiency in the beef cow-calf industry is through estrous synchronization and AI (ESAI). Estrous synchronization helps shorten the calving season, increases herd pregnancy rates, and helps increase calf uniformity and weight (calves are typically older).

Use of ESAI can improve productivity and revenue. Recent research from Dr. Cliff Lamb examined the short-term economic impact of a breeding system that included FTAI + natural service or just natural service in about 1,200 females on 8 different farms (Table 1).1 The breeding seasons began and ended on the same day in both groups on all farms. A partial budget was used to compare the positive economic impact (added revenue, reduced costs) with the negative economic impact (added costs, reduced revenue). Use of ESAI improved short-term returns by about $50 per cow.

At the same age, steers typically Days to #WW (lbs)/cow weigh more and generate $146.71/hd Trt N Weaning % $/cow Calving exposed more revenue. Sex-sorted semen has been available for several years and is FTAI 582 84 26.8 ± .8 425.48 ± 9.5 + $49.14 used most often in the dairy and beef NS 615 78 31.3 ± .8 386.98 ± 9.5 seedstock industries. Conception rate of sex-sorted semen was initially too low for most cattlemen to consider, but the Table 1. Impact of ESAI sorting/freezing process has improved considerably, and now conception rates are basically similar to conventionally-frozen semen. Male-sorted beef semen normally costs about the same as conventional, but female-sorted beef semen is about 50% more expensive ($25 conventional = $40 female sorted). Does the additional value of gender control pay for the added costs? In a typical 30-cow herd, 14 steers and 14 heifers might be weaned (93% weaning rate). Using the values in Table 2, the steers would be worth $12,961, while the heifers would be worth $10,907. Let’s assume that we implement an ESAI system AI using sex-sorted semen and a 50% conception rate to AI. We breed 6 cows to female-sorted semen and 24 to male-sorted semen. We can either use natural service to clean up or shift to a total AI system. Both systems are illustrated.

Shifting from natural service to an ESAI system has been shown to increase short-term revenue by about $50 per head. Shifting gender adds $24-37 more revenue per head, making the shift to ESAI even more attractive. Revenue can be even higher if the producer selects carcass-oriented genetics, ownership is retained, and the System # Value Revenue Total Difference steers are fed to hit a highAll Natural Service 28 value grid.

Works!

Dr. David Patterson

University of Missouri, MS “The results we’ve observed to date suggest that SexedULTRA™ semen, used in conjunction with split-time AI, yielded highly acceptable pregnancy rates in beef heifers that were synchronized with the 14-day CIDR-PG protocol. These results are encouraging, as expanded use of sex-sorted semen in the beef industry hinges largely on improvements in fertility outcomes following a timed insemination.”

Testimonials

SexedULTRA

Todd Stroud

Hoofstock Genetics, Ranger, TX “Our experience with SexedULTRA™ semen is a signicant improvement compared to previous technology. Our results include a higher percentage of viable embryos, even from high stimulating females and mature cows. I expect the industry will utilize SexedULTRA™ semen more routinely as producers and embryologists recognize these improvements.”

Darrell Silveira Silveira Brothers, Firebaugh, CA “We have used sexed semen in our embryo program for the last four years with very good results. Our goal is to produce elite show heifers from our top donors and the ability to determine sex is paramount for us. Sexed semen will continue to be an important part of our operation.”

David David Burns Burns Burns Farms, Pikeville, TN “We have been very pleased with the conception and fertilization rates using SexedULTRA 4M™ semen in our AI and ET programs over the last year. Our fertilization rate in our ET mirrored conventional semen.

We love that it gives us a sexed option in our conventional ET. This allows us to take advantage of better conception of conventional embryos while still sexing the calves.”
